New Studio
Monday, March 8th, 2010
Sorry posts are so few and far between these days. It’s a busy time. As soon as Dave Rudin headed back to his home in NYC I took off for a couple days of photographing a dance concert at Ohio University. I’m just now getting my head back above water. I’m still trying to get […]
Meet the Artists
Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010
I’m so far behind I’m afraid I’m going to lap myself. Not sure what that means. But I know it’s time for another post, so here goes. On the last full day of Dave Rudin’s visit we drove up to Detroit for “Meet the Artists” night at the River’s Edge Gallery where I currently have […]
I’m Tired
Friday, February 26th, 2010
Sorry it’s been so long since my last post. I’ve just been too busy and too exhausted to sit down and write anything. Between Dave Rudin’s week-long visit and working on getting the new studio ready for shoots I’ve not had much spare time. But I’ll try to catch up in the next few posts. […]
A Day In Chicago
Thursday, February 18th, 2010
The day after the gallery opening Dave Rudin introduced me to his friend, Ted Preuss, who does wonderful Platinum/Palladium prints from his 4×5 and 8×10 format photos of nudes. His work is amazingly beautiful. It was a real treat to get to look at his lovely prints. We started our day by going to the […]
Moving On
Friday, February 5th, 2010
That photo above is literally an iconic image for me. It’s been my icon or avatar image on Model Mayhem since I joined the site. I moved in to that studio in 2000 and did quite a bit of work to fix it up. When it was all painted I looked at it and said, […]
I knew something was up…
Monday, February 1st, 2010
…But I didn’t know for sure what it was. Now I know and, well, Wow!…just Wow! I’m blown away. Carrie Leigh’s NUDE magazine has given me their first annual Arts for Humanity Award for my participation in Free Speech Coalition et al v. Holder, filed in federal court in Philadelphia. That’s the announcement from the […]
Angie Inside
Thursday, January 28th, 2010
Yes, Angie is just as beautiful inside as she is out in the snow. We shot this on the first day we did snow photos, before we went out and froze her cute ass off. Lots of changes going on. It looks like it will be Monday before I’ll be able to start moving in […]
All Good Things Must Come To An End
Monday, January 25th, 2010
This is the end of the snow nudes. Full circle back to Kelsey again. The snow is all melted here now. There will no doubt be more of it before the winter is over, but I think I’ve frozen enough models, for this year at least. Both Kelsey and Angie did a great job of […]
Angiesickle
Thursday, January 21st, 2010
After Angie froze her cute ass at our first stop, with temperatures at 5 degrees, we got back in the truck, turned the heater up, and headed for a second location. The first place we shot was an easy hike. It’s actually handicapped accessible, with a flat, asphalt path back to the site. Not the […]
Playing Ball on Frozen Water
Tuesday, January 19th, 2010
I’ve written here before about the tricks Mother Nature can play on you when you work outdoors with the nude. You have to be prepared for the unexpected and able to adapt to whatever happens. Well, Mother Nature really did a number on us with this shoot. After the day of shooting that produced the […]
